The threat of not being able to order, or whine and complain about slow vape mail delivery caused me to spend over $200 for one final fasttech fix prior to CNY.
The mere thought of no fasttech for a never ending 2 week holiday was more than I could bear.
OMG I think I'm experiencing withdrawal tremors.

Simple solution to the withdrawal tremors - fill your basket with items from the wishlist, then delete them. Repeat until the tremors subside :laugh:

I know what you mean though, I get the jitters myself if I haven't got at least 2 orders outstanding. Hourly tracking updates are the highlight of my day ;)

Burnie will be glad to hear the Fogger is working great. No leaks, great flavour and plumes of vapour. Got it running on a cotton micro-coil with extra cotton in the juice channels. It came out at 2.2 ohms, a little higher than I'd like, but it's running great so I'm not gonna change it now. I've got some Trip 20 in it - lovely :D

Glad you are getting use out of it, better than collecting dust over here as I was not going to fool with it any more.

Well got my Last order delivered today from FT. Been waiting on the RG500 to go on my Dragon spinner. Don't like the wood drip tip, but the copper looks good.

$10.44 RG500 Bottom Coil Glassomizer (5.0mL) - copper shield / 1.8ohm / 2.2ohm
$5.58 Variable Voltage USB Passthrough for E-Cigarette
$2.22 Copper 510 Drip Tip
$2.11 Wooden 510 Drip Tip

Here is a picture of the finished setup, and it vapes good with a 2.2 ohm coil. Might order the brass RG500 on my next order just to see how it looks, a little lighter finish.

I like the look of that so different
I would look for a wide spacer ring
Maybe brass rod drilled and taped.

I have looked for a wider spacer ring, same top to bottom, but 15mm (I think that is what the battery is) with EGO threads, can't find any except EGO size, the bigger ones are all tapered, that I could find. If anyone knows of any from any supplier and could post a link, That would be Great.

I'm one step ahead of ya. Already got three items in the cart. But I'm too lazy to delete and start over. Oh for the joys of putting in a ticket and whining on the customer forums, brethlessly watching 17Track/HK Post/USPS/Quantium Solutions/Sing Post. (Shivering) Not to worry this too will pass. Now where's my blankey.

Yep it's going great mate, so it will get plenty of use this end. I've got it sat on the bagua at the moment. The one thing I have done though is to remove the airflow control ring - otherwise I just end up constantly adjusting it when the vape is perfect for me in the fully open position :laugh:

Is this the RG500 you were thinking about getting Burnie ?? :

https://www.fasttech.com/p/1497904

If so, I can return the favour and post it over for you. I got it as well as the one you already have, but it's still in the box unused. If you want it mate, it's yours, just PM me your address - I've thrown the envelope away that you sent the Fogger in.

:laugh: Why not take it one step further to increase the excitement. Press the buy button, but don't go through the paypal checkout - that way you'll find out if FT are really closed for the holidays or not - you'll probably get a message asking why you haven't paid :evil:

So I've been a busy boy today.

Two loads of washing done. Tidied up downstairs and did some shopping.

Once my Housewifely chores were finished, I got round to the important stuff :p

Charged up 8 batteries.
Cleaned out the Taifun and a load of juice bottles to re-use.
Re-organised my vape cupboard.
Popped a fresh wick in the Taifun and filled up with GVC.
Set up the Fogger from Burnie (finally said Terry :p).
Checked the volts in the batteries in all my mods.
Cleaned the Vmod XL and Vmod mini.

----------------------------------------

Burnie will be glad to hear the Fogger is working great. No leaks, great flavour and plumes of vapour. Got it running on a cotton micro-coil with extra cotton in the juice channels. It came out at 2.2 ohms, a little higher than I'd like, but it's running great so I'm not gonna change it now. I've got some Trip 20 in it - lovely :D

The Taifun, I built a 1.2 ohm standard coil with 2 strands of 2mm silica and 2 strands of 1mm silica (6mm of wick in total). Had to use silica, cos my GVC tastes best this way.

So quite a busy day. Was gonna mix up some juices too, but I think I've done enough now - it is my only day off after all :laugh:

Well i am glad you got the fogger running good for burnie, just need to get it sent back to him now.:evil:

I would do mate, but the change in air pressure during the flight would probably knacker the coil. Guess I'll have to keep it :p

I have one parcel showing as shipped by ft and showing info received by sing post.
Kind of in limbo the suspense is killing me whether it made it out or not but i won't hold my breath.

I'm the same mate.
One parcel with Malaysia post, with a totally undecipherable tracking status.
The other due to ship after the holidays - even though it should have gone in the middle of CNY.

The one with MP has batteries, so it's a bit of an experiment to see if it gets through :D

LOL yep i had a look last night. The price difference between spiritus and nicoticket is ridiculous isn`t it ! so i am thinking give nicoticket a try. It may be worth dropping them an e-mail to ask if they could mark the package as a gift, to avoid any customs issues.

Hey guys, spotted your post and hope you don't mind me steamrolling in this long after the fact (I run Spiritus Vapes). I know my prices appear to be more expensive than ordering from the US but sadly I can't duck Duty or VAT with the volumes I order. I run a tight ship though and I'm in-line with the prices other US liquids sell for over here and think my prices are competitive.

If you don't mind me quoting you...

Well in total I've ordered 130ml of liquid from Nicoticket, so it works out at $77 with postage. So that's about £46 for 130ml shipped. If I don't get customs fees and duty, that works out about £4 for 10ml I think. Hopefully it will slip through un-noticed.

The bottles I sell are all 17ml, at £9, so if you adjust your US costs to 20ml bottles you'll get £8/20ml vs £9/17ml, and I can get the bottles to you the next day. (and that's before customs charges, which kick in at £36, so you probably will get an import bill sadly - I hope you didn't though).

Not sure if that'll make a difference to you, just wanted to chime in and reassure you that my costings were properly thought out.

Is this the RG500 you were thinking about getting Burnie ?? :

$9.90 RG500 Bottom Coil Glassomizer (5.0mL) - gold / chromed shield / 1.8ohm / 2.2ohm
Remove the "s" from https, and it adds the description
If so, I can return the favour and post it over for you. I got it as well as the one you already have, but it's still in the box unused. If you want it mate, it's yours, just PM me your address - I've thrown the envelope away that you sent the Fogger in.

Thanks Ian, but this is the one I am looking at getting.

$10.44 RG500 Bottom Coil Glassomizer (5.0mL) - bronze shield / 1.8ohm / 2.2ohm

Don't want the shinny, I like the rustic look with this spinner. I might get the silver one for my SVD, but I have enough toppers for the moment, and the Vivi Nova's are working good on it. And Mate, don't feel you owe me anything, it was a GIFT, I'm just glad the Fogger has a new home to get some use. I could send out LOTS of stuff I have tried that gets no use and not hurt my vape supplies in the least. I have spent over $1600 in the last 4 months, I have lots of stuff, some I might never use. If the DW knew how much I have really spent I would be in Deep :censored:, until the savings is more than the money I spent. If I can not buy for another month I will be in savings, and I don't really need to buy for a year anything except some PG & VG, have everything including around 1000mg of 100mg/ml nic. I make my own NET for mixing, so I am good there also. Like I said I have LOTS of stuff :)

I'd forgotten all about that post :laugh:

No need to worry I wasn't knocking the prices, I know that you have to account for VAT and duties in with your costings, so they will be a little bit higher. I've been in Business myself, so I know all about the overheads involved.

To be honest, part of my reasoning for ordering direct was for the bigger sized bottles, I tend to go for 50 or 100ml bottles in juices I really enjoy.

As I said, I hope you don't feel I was putting your business down in any way, I just like to weigh up all the options available :D

No problem mate. I just thought I could help out by sending one over, you would probably have got it quicker from me than waiting for FT to re-open :laugh:
I'm making sure the Fogger gets a prime spot in my vaping rotation :D

I honestly didn't realise you had that much gear Burnie. You've probably got as much as our Lisa :laugh: I'll probably use the RG500 at some point, my problem is I need more mods to fill up my display stand. When they arrive from FT, I'll be able to have even more toppers running at once ;)

Sucky day at work today...

#1 I am dieting with another rotund co-worker and only had coffee and stevia this AM :/ Fell asleep several times already.

#2 My $1,500 Craigslist junker has lost the RPM function, so I was forced to drive 20 miles an hour while I watched the RPM gauge climb from 2 to 3 to 4 to 5... never going faster than 20 miles an hour... I think this is a transmission problem... not sure why I think this, but I do. So, I have a brand new car, but the hubby sold his truck ages ago and began driving my new car. I bought a junker... and have been driving that. I called the hubby when I finally arrived at work and told him to pay off my car NOW, because I need a new one :/ I was going to just buy another junker, $1,500 for 5-6 years is a really good deal, but I haven't been saving any money. I have a sickness :p a money spending sickness :/ and now my time is up. By the time I got to the parking garage, it was actually going into gear, but my time is surely up, so I have to get rid of the bugger :/

#3 I decided that I had to do something about having no energy this AM, so I ate a crappy salad... seriously. Lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, carrots, Caesar dressing and it was disgusting. I expected a different experience :/ Why it isn't a magnificent meal, I don't know.

#4 Since I needed SOMETHING to get myself in gear, I ate some peanut butter Girl Scout Cookies =] Offered them and some Coconut M&Ms to my rotund co-worker who is dieting with me =] She failed to take the bait :'( The good news is that she bought some Christmas gifts on Amazon and has come to find out that they were shipped from China =] They just arrived =] She's been informed that she has to pay for shipping back =] She made a silly little complaint on Amazon =] ...and she plans to return them elsewhere without a receipt. Good luck with that =]

#5 Drinking some soup... delicious, magnificent, delectable soup! I am pleased that I paid for 3 bulk boxes of it [4 months worth]... from Amazon LOL The peanut butter cookies really did their job =] I am wide awake now!

Note to self - make an oatmeal smoothie for breakfast tomorrow... yeah, having spinach, oatmeal, and chia seeds sounds like something to look forward to XD

I HOPE YOUR ALL HAVING A BETTER DAY THAN I AM!! I hope my car starts... otherwise I call the hubby to come get me :p

All of us Combined don't have as much as Lisa. :cry:

Have you had chance to look at the broken SVD yet ??

I think I managed to convert someone else to e-cigs today. Was up at the bus station, happily vaping away inside the building while I waited for my bus to come in so I could take over from the driver that was due a break. One of the station's cleaners was outside shivering, puffing away on a stinky. When he'd finished, he came inside and asked me about my Vmod. So I gave him my pep talk and told him where he could get a decent starter kit. He left promising me that when I see him next, he'll be vaping instead. He said he's tired of standing outside in the cold puffing away, when he could vape inside out of the wind and rain. That's a good result, not converted anyone for a while now :D

I think all of you have bunches of vape gear... you just have more places to HIDE IT... mine is just all togehter, that's all.

If the car is staying in one gear and not changing up it could be a simple lack of transmission fluid Lisa. Or worst case scenario, it might be the torque converter that's on it's way out. But it does sound like a transmission problem from what you describe.

I'd say take the new car back from Hubby, let him catch the bus :evil::laugh:

As far as dieting goes. I've just seen a programme about which is worse fats or sugars. They came to the amazing conclusion that we need both in our diets to stay healthy. Cut out one completely and you run the risk of either becoming diabetic or burning up more muscle mass than fat. Neither of which are good outcomes. Makes me feel a lot better about eating ice cream now (high in fat and sugars) :laugh:

Anyway, here's my top tip for weight loss. After a meal try vaping a dessert type juice like a bakery flavour (cinnamon Danish or chocolate caramel), it takes away the cravings for an after dinner treat. I've actually lost a few pounds doing this :thumbs:
